Bonzai

Hi, I’m Bonzai, this week’s Forget Me Not! I am a 4 year old Pit Bull Terrier and I LOVE belly rubs! I am one of kind and sure to bring all kinds of love into your life.

We Pit Bulls get such a bad rap (I don’t know how….seriously, just look at my cute face).  In all seriousness though, my friends and I receive discrimination from an ill-informed public due to no fault of our own. Did you know that in early America, Pit Bills were considered “prized possessions” and were vital members of the family? We were considered the “All American Dog”. Sadly, in the early 80’s the same advertisers that once coined the breed as the “All American Dog” began exploiting Pit Bulls as “fighters”. By taking advantage of the public’s growing fears, the integrity of the breed was inevitably dragged down.

Thankfully, dog fighting is now considered a felony in all 50 states and many are working hard to restore the breed’s image. You can make a difference too. Give me a second chance and you and I together can help change the opinions of many. Bring me into your life and let me show the world how wonderful owning a Pit Bull can be. Together we can prove that strength, confidence, sense of humor and a zest for life are all hallmarks of the breed. Give me a second chance. I know it will be the best decision you have ever made.

From today (Monday, February 20^th) until Sunday (February 26^th) Bonzai’s adoption fee has been reduced by 75% in hopes that he finds the perfect forever family!
